Artist and friend we love, Ian Kuali’i will be presenting new works at the 58 Gallery in Jersey City with an opening on Friday, June 3, 2011. Kuali’i's solo exhibition, Ox Blood, consists of various media including paper cut-out, stencil, aerosol, acrylic, ink and even stolen billboards.

Exhibits We Love :: Aakash Nihalani @ Bose Pacia
Our talented friend Aakash Nihalani is exhibiting new works at Brooklyn’s Bose Pacia gallery with an opening reception on Thursday, November 4, 2010. This show will include many facets of his conceptual geometric expression – sculpture, photography, tape installation, painting and interactive digital imagery. Although he was initially known for his public works around NYC, in the last couple of years Aakash has transformed and transgressed the limits of “street art” into a solid exploration of his themes within a gallery setting while retaining the vibrant energy and playfulness of his earlier works. – Moni Pineda
Exhibits We Love :: GAIA at Brooklynite Gallery
We had the pleasure of meeting the very talented, GAIA, at our screening at the BK Museum and our last night in NYC. Not only are we impressed by his definitive style and prolific nature but after meeting him, his personality completely won us over. He’s definitely an artist we’d like to feature in the near future. He achieves beautiful detail in his animal & human portraits through more traditional techniques giving his ‘street’ art and the viewer a distinct experience. All of this to say that if you’re in NYC between now & November 6th, don’t miss his show at Brooklynite Gallery. He’s showing alongside the Italian stencil duo, Sten & Lex, so the show will be great all around. Give us an update if you make it. – Moni Pineda

Exhibits We Love :: Utagawa Kuniyoshi @ Japan Society
The Utagawa Kuniyoshi exhibit at Japan Society should not be missed. There are over 130 woodblock prints from this master of the Japanese style called ‘ukiyo-e’ which has influenced the current anime and manga art forms. What makes this exhibit so exquisite is not just the volume of prints but the fact that we’ll be able to see a beautiful interpretation and depiction of Japanese art and culture from the mid 1800s.
